Spring is in the air. The sun is shining down on Manchester today yet there is a still a bit of a chill which is the perfect weather for heading to Intu Trafford Centre to select your spring wardrobe from this season’s trends. Monochrome, stripes, red and boho are all hot right now as are spring florals. I am a huge fan of a floral skater dress, in fact, you’d be hard pressed to find anything different in my wardrobe. So when I went shopping I thought it was time to choose something a little different.
What’s that? A fat girl in a playsuit? Surely not? I love this Floral Wrap Front Playsuit from Miss Selfridge. It is a slightly longer length to others I’ve tried on and has a longer length sleeve to cover those pesky upper arms. The wrap front shows just enough cleavage and the elasticated waist makes it super comfortable. I bought mine from the Selfridges concession for £39 but it is also in stock in the main Miss Selfridge outlet at the Centre and goes up to a size 16.
I paired the playsuit with a pair of tan wedges that I got last year from New Look at Intu Trafford Centre so they are no longer available although these are virtually identical and a great price at just £24.99. I am a huge fan of New Look’s wedge selection. They are really comfortable and a must have wardrobe staple for me.
I love that this playsuit is a darker colour yet still embracing the spring floral theme. And I never thought I’d feel confident enough to leave the house in a playsuit. I have even taken to wearing this with thick black tights on colder nights out! Perhaps I need to shop for more, they are ridiculously light and will be ideal for Italy in June after all.
